How come my heater on the 1994 Altima only works when it is hit on the bottom sideof the housing. Thought it might be the resistor. Now i am not to sure . Could trash be in the unit? It stops working when the switch is off but, works occasionally. This is my daugters school car and it is not at home often. I need to fix it before she goes back to school. Help Please.

Sounds like the motor--put a multimeter on the motor and see if the power is there/ move the wires fan switch around see if you can get it to cut out/come on.

What exactly stops working? Does the blower fan stop? Does the air just not get hot?
